I obviously can't see projections but, judging from his development, PIcasso is going to be good glove 3B with a nothing special bat. He was a former #3 pick but I don't think he has that kind of talent. 250 innings at better than league average ERA is pretty damn good. Six of those would fill out a staff.

That changes things a bit. The 95 inning guy is BELOW, or at, league average and can be found on pretty much any FA list when ST starts. So he's a non-issue. Now you're trading 150ish innings for a possible GG 3B with a hitting line of 70/65/65/70/75. IMO, it's a fair deal but, I imagine, your owner base in Guiness is seeing a former #3 pick for 1/10th of a pitching staff. The extra spot is pretty valuable to me and, obviously, changes to dynamic of the deal.

Let's say you trade a AAAA player with no options left to another team for a younger AAAA type prospect, and the acquiring team then puts the AAAA guy on the waiver wire, presumably to clear him so that he can assign him to the minors.
